Warkworth House is designed like a cosy environment for a single family. It is designed as a series of stick pavilions made of glass and timber. They have the simple shape and planing but with unusually shaped roofs. The kitchen is backbone of the house which connects private and public spaces with opening to the pool areas. Children wing is separated from the main areas by a wide corridor in order to make it more quite and relaxing. Materials choice and color theme make the house looks quite minimalist and definitely contemporary without being too aggressive and cool. The house is perfect for relaxing New Zealand lifestyle and for family with several children which like to play all day long. [Leuschke Group]
